When you take the Socialist and Homosexual and Islamist and Abortionists agenda out of our schools then maybe you take a persons right to express their Fundamentalst viewpoint. Until then STFU.

The doctrine of the scriptures of God’s Christ does indeed belong in the public schools. The fallacy of no God leads people into sorrow and death.

There is no scientific proof for evolution, as it is just a theory. When you think about the complexity of even the smallest of molecules, germs, etc., it is incredible to see design with intent. I’m sorry, but it takes a HUGE leap of faith to think that a huge explosion in space billions of years ago brought order out of chaos. In the real world, an explosion disrupts and brings chaos...which is what one expects, out of order.
The law does not even intend to exclude the teaching of eveolution...so what are they afraid of? A little truth exposing the LIE that the ungodly want to shove down our throats?

guaranteed that "students may express their beliefs about religion in homework, artwork and other written and oral assignments free from discrimination based on the religious content of their submissions"

The sad thing about this "legislation" is the students already have the right to express their religious beliefs. The first admendment guarantees it. We don't don't need more legislation, we just need to stop the state/courts from usurping and abridging a right we already have!

Damn right too. I dunno why people want to take the easy way out to proselytyzation. If you want to spread the word, do it on your own time, not on my tax money.

The claim is, that there is some sort of a dialectic between evolution and religion. There isn't. In order to have a meaningful dialectic between evolution and religion, you would need a religion which operated on an intellectual level similar to that of evolution, and the only two possible candidates would be voodoo and Rastafari.

In fact if you wanted to be fair about it and let all sides be heard, Rastafari would lend itself quite well to certain kinds of team teaching situations; a bio teacher looking for a way to put 30 teenagers into the right frame of mind to be indoctrinated into something as idiotic as evolutionism could walk across the hall to the Rasta class for a box of spliffs....

The dialectic is between evolution and mathematics. Professing belief in evolution at this juncture amounts to the same thing as claiming not to believe in modern mathematics, probability theory, and logic. It's basically ignorant.

Yeah, the whole point of this bill must be intelligent design. It couldn’t be designed to prevent stuff like kids getting an F for turning in a homework assignment that mentions Jesus or anything. After all, that’s never happened in the whole history of public schooling...

Then there’s the fact that if intelligent design was half as stupid and dishonest as you guys say it is, any science teacher could demolish it on the first day of seventh grade science class.

someone would want to teach children that it is wrong to express what they believe in their assignments? SHAME!

I did express often what I believed in my assignments when i was in public education through high school. I was never criticized by any teacher for doing so, as I was never disrespectful or threatening when doing so.

Why should it be any different now?

Here goes another Flame war! It is always the case when anyone mentions Creation vs Evolution that it devolves quickly into a flame war. Sometimes I help by pointing out the utter hoplessness and pointlessness of existence that evolutionary thought leads to. I admit that is still not proof of anything though is it?

Bottom line is that neither view can be proven or disproven by thought arguments. So pick your God, either from an old book, or from swooping arrows on a Scholastic evolution poster. Dinosaur -> SWOOPING ARROW -> Bird !... Monkey -> SWOOPING ARROW -> Man !

Choose wisely.

Can somebody please post a picture of a Swooping Arrow like used on evolution posters? Isn't that a divine image indeed? How about if we could show a picture of Darwin on a cross with a crown of Swooping Arrows and nailed to the cross with swooping arrows? Can I get a government grant or something for that?

This article points out yet another reason that public education is a very bad idea. The left was happy to seize education as a path to indoctrination, yet are oh so sensitive when others want their fair share of the captive student’s minds. If parents were free to choose where they sent their children to be educated, this would not be an issue.

Is this all you do, Soliton? Is it your mission to express hatred for God and those who follow Him? Such a small, sorry life it must be to have made it your goal to denounce faith in Christ.

It’s never too late to recognize your darkened heart and turn to the Lord, asking Him for forgiveness and a new life. Never too late, that is, as long as you humbly turn to Him for grace and mercy prior to your being judged by Him following your death. May you find your pain and suffering and cynical bitterness so unbearable that you turn to Him soon, and find life.

Fundamentalist doctrine does not belong in schools
***I agree. And the fundamentalists of scientism have been pushing their agenda for too long and too hard. This new religion needs to be dealt with as a religion in our society. Naturally, from my interactions with you I know that you will not agree with me. But your dishonesty in the past brings up the question over & over again why you have such disdain for the science behind historicity but uphold the science surrounding origins.
